I must confess, Henry and I didn't shoot it. A hunter in our group got him. Henry and I were the designated flushers - we went to the bottom of the canyon and crawled through the trees. We take partial credit because we flushed him out. :lol:

Thanks for the tip Sandhusker. I hadn't thought of using my banker for a bird-dog. 8)
Think he'd go for it C. Thompson?

Thanks for the picture! The folks on the points wouldnt be shootin bucks without the fellas doing the pushes. Before the big fire in '94, we used to make drives through thick cedar patches. Lots of good bucks were taken by working together. I hated pushing cause i felt i'd never get to shoot. The bucks always seemed to end up being taken by the people on the points. But after learning to hunt & not just hike i started seeing deer trying to slip between the drivers. And when ya get a wise ol' buck making a hook around ya and ya get that ol' 30-30 on him, it is awesome. Its amazing how much smarter i got as i listened more and got older!
we have a group that push all the time.... I like to find out where they are pushing, then go sit in a few different spots....seems they never understand that the deer will sneak out in several different spots, they just assume the deer will run two miles of timber and never leave the trees..........

Last day of mulie season was Saturday-Ty and I found a little herd but passed on them-we ran into a young guy used to be in my 4H club. Him and his buddy had tags so Ty and I did a little push for them. Well they missed lol. The second one they both got tagged out so they were happy campers. Me I have another christmas tree decoration I passed up some pretty good mulie bucks so not a big deal. The whities are rutting hard right now-Ty is about 25 feet up in a spruce right now with his bow-it's -15 here this A'M so he'll be a cold puppy waiting for sun up lol.

I don't mind being the pusher at all - I generally volunteer for it. In this case, I was the obvious choice as I was the youngest and we had some older guys who can't walk much anymore. I still like pushing because I like deer hunting, but the problem with deer hunting is that you generally get one, and then a buchering job.

This old Mulie could have wandered in from NE. Grandpa and Grandson there.
If you all never hear from me again then you'll know that Oldtimer was right about the whole Mexico kidnapping and jail thing. The Misses, the boy and I are leaving tomorrow, with one of Sandhuskers colleagues and wife. Wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving....early!
